Hey guys, so I've had this HP Elitebook 8530w Mobile Workstation for a few years now, but something annoying has happened, I cannot change my password because it has "expired" and I haven't been able to log into it for months. (years actually..)
I've been dying to get back into it and use it again but I just can't change it no matter what I've done.
Every time I try to change the password it says "Unable to update the password. The value provided for the new password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirements of the domain."
So could anybody help me please?
Picture for attention.
OP here, I should probably also say it uses Windows 7 Professional.

how are you even able to change the password if you can't log in
and stop with the constant bumping. this is a slow board (you might have to wait a few days).

It requires me to change it upon login.
It's part of Windows 7 Professional system.
The only reason I'm bumping is too keep my thread noticed, and you can see that it isn't "constant", it's every half hour or so.

Every time you've bumped you've been on the first page, and only below like one thread. You only have to bump like once every four hours maybe. But threads will last at least 12-16 hours without being bumped.

Didn't know that. Been sitting on my thread most of the night.
Thanks for the info.
Many company workstations require passwords to be at least 8 characters, have at least 1 number, and at least 1 capital letter

I've tried this many times.
It doesn't work no matter what I do.

Install gentoo

get out of here linuxfag
If it's a company computer, it might have to be connected to a company's network for a new pw to be validated.

No it's not, it's my personal computer.
I take it with me on trips.

This is a very long way to get into a Windows 7 computer without password( the only way I know of that actually works)

What this effectively does is rename command prompt to sticky keys so now when you log on your can hit shift five times and cmd will pop up. If you know what you're doing my job is done here, but just in case part 2 is on the way.

Y'know you can just boot from any installer since Windows 2000 and press shift-f10, right?
>>140270
Yes but I'm assuming he doesn't want to lose any of his information
>>140512
That doesn't install Windows, brainbox.
It opens a cmd.exe prompt.
>>140513
I wouldn't mind losing any of the info on it.
I just want to regain access to my laptop.

Log in in safe mode, remove from domain.
>>140270
Y'know, you're pretty fucking stupid.
>>140643
I can't log in in safe mode.
I literally can't get into my laptop at all.
>>140625
If you don't mind losing info then just reinstall windows you dummy
